I just passed on your invitation to Michael. Thanks so much.<br /><br />Ann : Thanks for the good wishes. Perhaps this is the year for us all?<br /><br />Jules : Thanks for the offer. Any mention of my book on your blog would be appreciated. Hibbs, the bear with two shadows, is pretty much at the bottom of the sales totem pole, and that's for sure!<br /><br />Jessica : Thanks for helping out. It means a lot to a publishing rookie like me. I'm a man of high hopes and low tech!<br /><br />Heather : Amazon offers the "Kindle for PC" application for free. Which means you can both get it and download the free sample chapter of my book, too. In my case, it will be the first three chapters. How cool is that? Thanks for helping me.<br /><br />Thank you, Wendy!<br /><br />L. Diane : If you download the free "Kindle for PC" application, you will be able to read many of the Sioux teaching stories that The Turquoise Woman tells Hibbs, when he was the cub with no clue instead of the bear with 2 shadows. <br /><br />So if THE BEAR WITH 2 SHADOWS does well enough to merit a print version, those Sioux teaching tales (which my mother actually told me) will not be totally lost.<br /><br />Thanks, Carol. Didn't Michael do a great job? Hope you check out my free three chapters.<br /><br />Tessa : You are a sweetheart for devoting a whole post to my book. You were my champion today! Thanks -- it's too small a word for what you did.<br /><br />Erin : Thanks so much for the award. As soon as I finish here and take some more cough medicine, I will visit your blog and say HI. And thanks for going to check out THE BEAR WITH 2 SHADOWS!<br /><br />Welcome, Amanda! Glad to have you visit. Isn't CALVIN & HOBBES wonderful to go back to read over and over again?<br /><br />I hope you can download the free "Kindle for PC" application from Amazon and read the free first chapters of my book for yourself. Thanks so much for following, too!<br /><br />Monica : Thanks for the congrats. I hope this New Year brings some of your dreams true as well.<br /><br />Words Crafter : You are one super-special lady for devoting your entire post to my book. And the great things you said about my writing made me blush. I am humbled by your great generosity of spirit, even though you are still sick with that terrible cold. Gypsy gives you a High Four (only 4 pads to her paw. LOL)<br /><br />Thank you, everyone. Now, I'm off for some cough medicine to try to choke off this cough before it chokes me!Roland D.
